HUD Releases COC NOFA

Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs has published the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Continuum of Care (CoC) Homeless Assistance Programs. Programs included in the CoC NOFA are: the Supportive Housing Program, Shelter Plus Care, and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation for Single Room Occupancy Program.

How to Apply

The CoC application and the project application are available online through e-snaps. The application submission deadline is Friday, October 28, 2011 at 7:59:59 p.m. ET. Policy and technical questions for the FY 2011 CoC competition should be submitted to the Virtual Help Desk (VHD) on the HUD HRE website. The VHD accepts question submissions every day, all day. However, responses are usually provided between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Changes for FY 2011

Major changes to the CoC NOFA since the publication of FY 2010 NOFA are listed beginning on page 8. Some of these updates include changes in the definition of "homelessness," a new focus on targeting resources to extremely high-need communities and rural areas, changes in the amount of assistance available for new Supportive Housing Program projects, and a new requirement to demonstrate a series of education assurances, among others.
